A method based on the indefinite impedance matrix application to planar circuits is developed for power delivery network (PDN) characterization of high-speed/high-density data communication circuits. By utilizing the parallel plate waveguide concept, the proposed method incorporates both ground and power via effects as well as decoupling capacitors with indefinitely many conductor layers stacked in an arbitrary order in a multilayered printed circuit board. The incorporation of analytical expressions for resonant planar circuits allows for parameterized PDN characterization and provides a significant computational advantage for a follow-up PDN optimization. The method is tested on some proof-of-concept cases and the results are observed in good agreement with those obtained from a numerical electromagnetic simulator.

In this article, a knowledge-based artificial neural network (ANN) is developed for predicting jitter in CMOS inverter circuits in the presence of power supply noise (PSN). The proposed ANN provides for efficient training in a hybrid approach using input data extracted from both analytical closed-form expressions and a circuit simulator. The proposed ANN demonstrates a reasonably accurate prediction of power supply-induced jitter (PSIJ) with results that closely match that from directly using a circuit simulator (HSPICE) for a case study with 22-nm CMOS technology.
